My school had this thing today where all the student groups get tables out in the courtyard and pass out information and get people to sign up for their email lists and stuff. I helped out the guy who recently seized control of my animal rights group. He moved here and joined and then during the summer, all the girls who ran it split off...

Alright. All settled into the new apartment, more or less. It's pretty awesome. The kitchen is about half as big as my entire old apartment (which had no kitchen), and the main room turned out to be a lot larger than I remembered it from the walkthrough. The main room is probably about the same size as my old place, just with different dimensions. And...

Okay, so... moving tomorrow morning at 9. Guess who's not done packing?

I'm gonna be without cable/internet for a while. Got an appointment on the 14th, but I may have to move it once I figure out my class schedule. It's gonna suck being without Adult Swim and The Daily Show/Colbert Report. And there's no computer lab by my new place, so I'll only be...

There are some events at the union that I picked out to attend in these next few weeks, like movie night and stuff, in the union theatre, wherever that is. My list is at school, but once I get to look at it, I'll get back to you if there is something left that I don't decide to cross off at a second glance. I might have been in the mood two weeks ago, but now? Pfff..who knows. biggrin

Oi.. No internet and cable.. My sister and her boyfriend have neither as well.. My sister is SO bored everytime I talk to her. I hope that's going better for you at the time. blackeyed

I got the apartment I looked at yesterday. Checked out a different one this morning that was tiny and more expensive, so I decided to go with the cheap one with no bathroom. It won't be too bad. I can always use the window if I have to.

I've been having crazy dreams lately. Two nights ago, I dreamt my mom and I deduced that...

I'm not sure if it was acutally 2hrs but it was close. They are an amazing live band and if you can get to the shows in Chicago I completely recommend it. It would be very much worth whatever hassle it would be to get down there.

Snakes on a Plane is the greatest movie of all time. And it was fun hanging with girl_afraid and ectasia last night. Much better than downloading the movie and watching it on my computer. Though that way does involve interacting with fewer drunk people on the bus who get their drunky hands all over my pen.

I checked out an apartment this morning. It was...

against me! is the single best punk band ever in my opinion...seeing as how i have been into them for years i am a bit partial.

I was at work today and this guy came up to me. He spoke English, just not very well. Not like he was from another country, he just... didn't annunciate well. I thought he asked for "ladies' dish cleaner". I was like "???". We went back and forth for a while with me trying to discern what he meant. He kept saying "ladies' dish cleaner"....

This is crunch time.

I'm gonna be homeless in a week and a half if I don't find some place to live. I'm sure I can do it. But I definitely do not have time to waste. I've gotta find and contact places tomorrow and then check them out Monday and Tuesday while I don't work. This one ad on Craigslist looked cool, but it...

WTF, man. I waited until the last possible day you can sign up for classes without paying a deposit. And now everything I want to take is full. This is crap! Who would have thought?

So far, the only things I've gotten into is Theater 100 and Multicultural English, which is from 5:30-8:10 PM on Thursday. mad

I sorta told my landlord I'm moving out at...

Thanks for the info! I do see that now. smile

The people who protest it must be very dumb indeed. Who could protest saving your friend or family members life?! How can a father not allow his daughter a vaccine? How?!?!

Good luck finding a place to live. Maybe the dorms have openings? But I have been down there and a few places still had 'for rent' signs up.

I think it's alot easier to get a job during the summer at the campus and just keep it through the fall because alot of people who travel or live farther away for the summer can't just drive or walk to a building and get the job. biggrin

Tonight, I unlocked Wiggler in Mario Power Tennis. This was my biggest achievement in weeks.

My mom keeps making me stay at her house while I'm not working because it's hot and she thinks I'm going to die of heat exhaustion because I have no A/C. When I came back to my apartment after a few days, I noticed the trees/bushes in front of my...

it turned out that, with scheduling, i couldn't get to wizard world chicago. so it was just lolla for me. smile

who wants to be a superhero is a fun show. i caught a rerun on bravo one day. it was a bit of a trainwreck: i wasn't so much entertained by the concept, as horrified by the contestants, and couldn't look away. wink

Last night, I watched a movie called This Girl's Life, about a porn star taking care of her father who had Parkinsons. I don't know how he got involved, but James Woods played the father. One of the girl's friends was played by an actual pornstar, Cheyenne Silver. She was one of my favorites a few years ago, though I haven't seen her in anything...

I once read the book Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I thought it was quite wierd, didn't really care for it.

Could be because once someone wears an article of my clothing, I don't want it anymore (germs, aaahh! blackeyed ). But, atleast someone enjoyed the story. smile
I'm assuming the movie didn't venture too far from the book, from what I remember of the previews.

Our apartment doesn't have recycling either! it annoys the piss out of me. and there are at least 4 other buildings right in the same area. perhaps if we had recycling, the bums wouldn't be picking the cans in the middle of the night or plowing their stupid shopping carts across the gravel to get to the next jackpot. the cans would simply be in a separate bin and we could all sleep peacefully!!!!

i bring my recyclables to a place nearby my house. the bins are quite full now, so it's gonna be a pain in the back next time i have to haul them a block away...

hrmmm... oh well, i guess it's worth it, right?

by the by, i like the new profile pic! i think it's your best ever!

I suppose I should update.

I had an awesome nightmare last night. First one in a while. I've had a few "Wow, I must be really disturbed that my subconscious would enjoy these scenarios" dreams recently, but this one was a nice, old-fashioned, "trapped in a haunted house with a serial killer" nightmare.

Not much going on now. Party on Saturday, and I'm working towards...

It's my birthday, yay yay yay.

Doing lunch with the whole family, then heading to Summerfest with friends. Real party is next weekend.

That's all for now, we have company.

I'm wearing my grandpa's pants because they're all I have clean here.
